Question

Find the values of x and y

Answer 1

y=5

x=30

Explanation: since all 3 angles of triangles are marked equal we can see that it is equilateral which means 8y=40 so y=5. Then we can find that the other triangle is an 120 30 30 triangle thus x is 30. You can also do this if you can see straight away that the big triangle is a 30-60-90 triangle and just use 90-60.
